3. Deep-sea Fishing Tours in Phu Quoc
As Phu Quoc is facing overfishing and the fish we can catch in Phu Quoc’s sea is getting smaller in size with very low catch rates over time, OnBird does not organize Deep sea fishing tours anymore, this is also our commitment to conserve the marine life of Phu Quoc.
For those who have a great passion for fishing then Deep-sea fishing is your top tour in Phu Quoc, night time fishing would be amazing to get your big catch of Barracuda, Cobia, Giant Trevally, and Queen Fish…Sailing on the sea from sunset till midnight would have you feeling hungry to get your big catch.
The tour is not for amateurs, you need to have a real passion for fishing to stay afloat on the sea for 6 hours on a cold night just for the purpose of waiting for your big catch or sometimes nothing. But believe us, it’s interesting anyway!
4. Kayaking in North Phu Quoc island
Sea-kayaking: Half-moon Bay Kayaking is definitely a unique kayaking tour in Phu Quoc, the kayaking route is about 4 km long on the calm sea, from Half-moon Beach and then reach Casuarina Beach – an untouched beach surrounded by the dense forest beyond the Half-moon Cape. For those who are keen on exploring hidden locales, during the padding time you can contemplate the idyllic beauty of the Northwest coastline of Phu Quoc Island.

River-kayaking: Cua Can Kayaking is a unique river-kayaking in Phu Quoc, paddling along the river bank and see the landscape, mangrove forest, but for those who are not kind of seeking easy kayaking then this is not for you, quite boring to paddle along the river with not much to see.
5. Sailing by Eco-Dinghy or Catamaran in Phu Quoc
Sailing in Vietnam by cruise, overnight yacht or day-time catamaran seems to be more popular to date.
